Tortellini in a Tomato Cream Sauce with Peas & Prosciutto

Last nights dinner was pretty delicious friends! I’ve been working on using up things that we have on hand between the fridge, freezer and pantry. With just a handful of ingredients, this Tortellini in a Tomato Cream Sauce with Peas & Prosciutto is an elegant yet simple weeknight meal. 5 cheese tortellini tossed in an easy tomato cream sauce, some frozen peas and topped with crisp prosciutto… this is what I call Italian comfort!

There are certain things that I always have on hand including a variety of pasta {both dry & frozen}, frozen peas and cans of San Marzano tomatoes. Pasta in general is a go to when I need something quick for dinner. There are so many different dishes you can make with pasta that really how could you get tired of it?! I happened to run to my favorite Italian specialty store yesterday morning with one of my bests, Natalie, and of course had to go and grab some Prosciutto de Parma! Sure, prosciutto is a little bit on an expensive ingredient but you don’t need much here and the rest of this dish is basic. I definitely believe in quality when it comes to certain things and prosciutto is one of them {and yes I totally snacked on that beautifully crispiness while cooking haha} .

NOTE: this is a large recipe but you can easily have it if you aren’t cooking for 7 people like I typically am. But hey, leftovers are always great to have too! I do hope you all enjoy this pasta dish as much as my family did.
